Cuthand is fascinated by medicine, disease and our body systems. Her past work has beautifully represented the horrifying viruses that arrived through the trade routes – the same trade routes that introduced glass beads – and decimated Indigenous populations. Here she presents a series of intricately beaded reproduction of MRI scans evoking the brains of people dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression and other illnesses. Cuthand’s series gives voice to issues of Indigenous mental health and illustrate the physical aspect of illness.

Se trata de la única especie de tarántula verdadera (familia Theraphosidae) de la península ibérica. Una joya endémica del sur y sureste de nuestro país cuyo aspecto es el de cualquier otra tarántula pero su tamaño es mucho más reducido. En Málaga
Excerpt from www.ward26.ca: On May 5, Council approved the Street Art Initiative to place a mural on the underpass located on Eglinton Avenue just east of Leslie Street.
This highly visible, graffiti-plagued underpass near the Lexus on the Park and the Ontario Science Centre merges together the entranceway to the communities of Flemingdon Park, Leaside and Wynford. It will be brought to life with a work of public art covering both sides of the underpass. The mural’s theme is modern transportation and technology within a Canadian natural landscape.
An exciting aspect of this mural is that it will support three artistically under-served neighbourhoods and engage youth who will assist with the mural’s planning, design and execution.
Excerpt from www.muralroutes.ca: The TERRA STRAT’AA is the second landmark mural painted by MEDIAH for the City of Toronto. The project was painted and installed on the railway underpass on Eglinton Ave in an area filled with wildlife, lush vegetation and parks. The project concept entitled ‘Naturo-Dynamism’ entails the symbiosis between nature and technology and their coexistence within the same space. This was inspired by the Eglinton Crosstown lightrail system which is being built just 500 metres away from the site.
TERRA STRAT’AA – ‘NEOSTRAT’AA’
South Side
80ft X 17.5ft
The South side of the underpass entitled ‘NEOSTRAT’AA’ is inspired by the flight and migration patterns of Canada geese in their natural habitat of the surrounding area. The complex artwork is the result of the dynamics of Geese in flight while mimicing the mechanical movement of their urban surroundings.
TERRA STRAT’AA – ‘PROSTRATA’
North Side
80ft X 17.5ft
The North sde of the underpass entitled ‘PROSTRAT’AA’ is inspired by avionics and aircraft while hovering and connecting to the natural landscape below. The mechanical compoenents of the piece are driven by the presence of Canada geese in marshlands similar to the ones located only a few metres behind the site. While the South side is heavily inspired by the flight patterns of Canada geese which dominate the area, the North side shows the technological ideal of aircraft built and controlled by birds.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
This part of the paperbark wetland/forest/swamp is in the Bongaree wetlands on Bribie Island.
Melaleuca quinquenervia, commonly known as broad-leaved paperbark, the paper bark tea tree or niaouli, is a small- to medium-sized tree of the allspice family, Myrtaceae. The plant is native to New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea and coastal eastern Australia, from Botany Bay in New South Wales northwards, into Queensland and the Northern Territory. It has become naturalised in the Everglades in Florida, where it is considered a serious weed by the USDA. The broad-leaved paperbark grows as a spreading tree up to 20 m high, with the trunk covered by a white, beige and grey thick papery bark. The grey-green leaves are ovate and the cream or white bottlebrush-like flowers appear from late spring to autumn. (Source: Wikipedia)

Kotor´s cats / Montenegro
For many cat lovers, getting their feline fix usually comes from memes and YouTube videos. But the Montenegrin town of Kotor is better than the internet could ever be.
Just off the Adriatic sea lies the mountainous coastal country of Montenegro. Full of nature and history, these two aspects unite at its most popular destination – the winding Bay of Kotor. Located in the southwestern part of the country it is a place not only popular with its tourists, but also for its much loved feline population. The historic town of Kotor hosts hundreds of stray cats, but don’t let their homelessness fool you – they’re looked after and adored by locals and visitors alike.
Upon entering the cobbled old town of Kotor, it is hard not to notice the prowling creatures on every corner. The cats all look healthy, well-cared for – not what you would imagine from strays. On closer inspection, you can spot bowls of food and water left by shop owners and restaurant staff, and you can find the most confident cats lounging on the laps of tourists, purring for affection.
Kotor has an ancient fascination with cats
Jeroen Dreves, who visited from the Netherlands describes Kotor as the town for ‘real cat-o-holics’.
‘My girlfriend Rianne and I are both huge cat lovers, so during our round trip through the Balkans we had to visit the beautiful town of Kotor. We visited all the cat stores, the museum, and spent lots of time meeting and stroking several cats. Kotor is truly a cat paradise and we are actually considering moving there for good!’
The attitude towards cats is said to have developed from folklore, with the Montenegrin people holding the belief that cats saved the town of Kotor. It is reported that in 1918, during the revolt from the Austro-Hungarian navy, the Slav sailors would bring their ships into The Bay of Kotor, and with that their cats. Because the ships would bring in cats from all over the world, the feline population of Kotor is as diverse as it is extensive.
‘This is just part of legend, but historically the cats appeared here when the sailors were coming back home and they had the cats on their ships. Because Kotor is a town between sea and mountains, there were also lots of mice and rats and snakes, and it was necessary to have the cats in the town to protect it. So cats have become a symbol of good luck for Montenegro,’ says Oksana Troshina, who owns the Cats of Kotor souvenir shop with her husband.

The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in Arizona, United States. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters).
The canyon and adjacent rim are contained within Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon–Parashant National Monument, the Hualapai Indian Reservation, the Havasupai Indian Reservation and the Navajo Nation. The surrounding area is contained within the Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of the preservation of the Grand Canyon area and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While some aspects about the history of incision of the canyon are debated by geologists, several recent studies support the hypothesis that the Colorado River established its course through the area about 5 to 6 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River has driven the down-cutting of the tributaries and retreat of the cliffs, simultaneously deepening and widening the canyon.
For thousands of years, the area has been continuously inhabited by Native Americans, who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon a holy site, and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.

Grand Canyon National Park is a national park of the United States located in northwestern Arizona, the 15th site to have been named as a national park. The park's central feature is the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River, which is often considered one of the Wonders of the World. The park, which covers 1,217,262 acres (1,901.972 sq mi; 4,926.08 km2) of unincorporated area in Coconino and Mohave counties, received more than 4.7 million recreational visitors in 2023. The Grand Canyon was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. The park celebrated its 100th anniversary on February 26, 2019.

Entirely within the state of Arizona, the park encompasses 278 miles (447 km) of the Colorado River and adjacent uplands. Located on the ancestral homelands of 11 present day Tribal Communities, Grand Canyon is one of the most spectacular examples of erosion anywhere in the world—a mile deep canyon unmatched in the incomparable vistas it offers visitors from both north and south rims.

The Flag Building also referred to as the Super Power Building is the largest building in Clearwater, Florida. It is owned by the Church of Scientology and was built principally to deliver the Super Power Rundown, a high-level Scientology training course intended to train Scientologists to use what Scientology describes as all of their 57 "perceptics" or senses. The interior of the building contains training suites, course rooms, theaters, and various devices intended to test these "perceptics," including a "time machine", an anti-gravity simulator, an "infinite" pit, and a pain station.
The complex occupies a city block at 215 South Fort Harrison Avenue. It includes a 15-story tower topped by a bronze Scientology cross visible from much of Clearwater. Construction began in 1998, was halted in 2003, and was ultimately resumed to reach substantial completion during 2011. The long delay in construction led to substantial fines being levied by the city authorities. The building is valued at $80 million and at least $145 million was raised by Church fundraising towards the project. The church denies accusations that the Flag Building's completion was deliberately delayed so that it could serve as a cash cow.[citation needed]
The Church of Scientology announced in August 2013 that the building would be opened to the public on October 6, 2013, with a dedication ceremony that the church estimated would attract approximately 10,000 Scientologists. However, a month later it emerged that the Church had canceled the ceremony and postponed the opening of the building. The building finally opened on November 17, 2013.
At 127,000 square feet (11,800 m2), the building is the largest property in Clearwater. It was originally budgeted to cost $24 million, but the cost has more than doubled to an estimated $50 million after repeated redesigns of the interior. According to the building plans, the Super Power Building will feature a grand lobby lined with sculptures depicting aspects of Scientology; theaters for training and introductory films; a museum honoring the Sea Org; and a separate museum honoring Scientology's founder, L. Ron Hubbard. The sixth floor will house an indoor running track for Scientologists undergoing the Purification Rundown detoxification program.
The Mediterranean Revival-style building will also contain a bookstore, a library, and hundreds of course and study rooms; with a total of 889 rooms, 447 windows, and 42 bathrooms, plus a 1,140-seat dining room and two kitchens. A 124-foot (38 m) bridge connects the Super Power Building to the Scientology-owned Fort Harrison Hotel on the other side of S. Fort Harrison Avenue.[1] In January 2012, Tony Ortega of the Village Voice published leaked blueprints of the Super Power Building that revealed architectural features including a recreation of a deck on the Apollo, L. Ron Hubbard's flagship in the 1960s.

This is the western aspect of the new WA surf life saving head quarters. This is quite a controversial building as it has been built on an unspoilt piece of arguably Perths nicest, and unspoilt, beach front. My personal opinion is that this is quite beautiful but should have been built elsewhere. The beach front once spoilt cant be unspoilt.

Esse aspecto fosco é decorrente da Maresia, que nesse dia estava intensa!
Observem que as aves são Urubus, o que não é comum que estejam lá, mas infelizmente no dia anterior à foto morreu uma vaca nesse local. E o pior que alguém carneou essa vaca para consumir ou vender a carne, deixando a buchada e a cabeça nesse local! Uma infeliz e criminosa atitude. Infelizmente no Brasil o consumo de carne proveniente de abate clandestino é rotineiro e imenso!
Mas mesmo assim o Lugarzinho é LINDO!

As you walk from Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center towards the city center, you'll see the Horseshoe and Fountain in the Square of Love and the Nur Zhol Boulevard comprising of the Batereyk Tower, the Golden Towers (government office blocks) and the President's Palace. This is a prime example of distance compression using a zoom lens; the walk is far longer than it looks in this photo.
One aspect I enjoy about cross-dressing is attempting to create different female appearances. This is down to a combination of make-up application, wig choice and style of clothing. My choices are driven by mood. Some occasions I really want to glam up and wear short dresses, this is always fun and , I feel, rather daring to attempt when you live as a man. Other times I want to see gif I can pass myself off as female and be believable in terms of appearance.
I find attempting to look female in na convincing way is the challenge I truly thrive on and enjoy the most. This picture is a selfie shot from my most recent cross-dressing opportunity in mid March. It had been three years since I last had a relaxed opportunity to cross-dress (I had a very brief and unsuccessful opportunity back in December…best forgotten!).
I’m aware I have older sagging and far from smooth skin, but then again who in the real world, and I include many beautiful young woman, has skin without texture? Texture is real and so is an aspect one has to work with when applying make-up. My acceptance is I have less than ideal skin on my face and I focus on creating a smoother overall colour tone as the texture, my pores and bumps from years of shaving, exist and are there. I know photo manipulation can smooth skin which I feel looks quite odd! I see pictures in many women magazines (yes, I love reading women magazines) where the faces look like they are made of some strange plastic looking skin…scary! I see this trend is now prevalent on social media photo posts. I think such magazines are probably at the root of image issues many young females seem to be having these days.
I admit, I dreamed of smooth perfect skin but reality is I don’t have it. I’m much hap[per in my cross-dressing now I’ve evolved my mental approach to knowing I have to work with the face I’ve got. I really enjoy applying make-up now and seeing what I can do. I will never master the skin I hope to one day haver but I get a lot of delight and enjoyment from applying make-up and trying out various colours and techniques.
I’ve come to this direction because I am planning a trip out later in the year and you can’t exist in the real world in any other way than working with what you’ve got. This applies to my face, my body, clothing choices my mannerisms and inner projection. My facial skin has texture and I have wrinkles and lines, these are inescapable. I use make-up to change the focus on my face. By that I mean I play up what are(hopefully) my best areas and try to minimise the less than ideal areas. I have rubbish lips, there is not much I can do to them without ending up looking like a full on drag queen. I play these down. I use my eyes as my main emphasis so concentrate my efforts on eyebrows, eyeliner, shadow and mascara. I’m hoping if I make my eyes the main focus my other failings won’t be as noticeable.
In terms of clothing, I’ve modified my dress choices for the planned real world trip out. Female friends advised me on this. They suggested, rather unanimously to my surprise, I should wear midi dresses with a scoop or v-neckline. Being a crossdresser this was a departure from the faved mini dresses and body con styles. I followed their advice and the first time I wore one of the midi style dresses it felt incredible! It proved to be a style that made me feel more feminine than ever before. I loved the fabrics, I adored the way it swished around my freshly shaved legs, the feel of the whole dress was unbelievable. When I sat down and the split draped and revealed my legs I was ecstatic. This impacted on me more than I can articulate. I have a few midi dresses now and I am looking forward to wearing them in the future.
Although the full dress is not visible in this selfie I was feeling so alive wearing it and the make-up. I adored, loved, was delighted, truly in heaven appearing as a woman and felt great emotional fulfilment. I felt my nerves easier and my confidence increase and though I always felt terrified over going out in public (my last time was back in May 2017) I felt a new level of comfort within me. Now, I can’t wait!

En cuanto vi a éste señor me fascinó la manera en que permanecía impertérrito mirando a la persona que le atendía y su interesante aspecto, con facciones marcadamente duras. Me pareció digno de inmortalizarlo con mi humilde cámara y le tomé varias fotos a discreción. Espero que os agrade. Y agradecer vuestras visitas y comentarios. Un saludo cordial.
